Morning People,

I sweat bucket loads when batting and frankly ruin my gloves very quickly. I've tried both sorts of inners in the past but never found them comfortable as I felt I lost control and feel for the bat. I haven't worn them for a good few years - until Saturday....

I thought I would Try wearing fingerless inners  ..... I hit 147no (my first hundred) I'm a guy who is full of superstition so now I think I'm going to wear them all the time.

Who else wears inners? What sort? What's your pros and cons?

I only have small hands but have found myself using 2 grips and now inners.

Always fingerless, tried the fingered ones but they didn't feel right

[piethepker]

I don't, just didn't like the feel of them.

But always keep a pair when lending new gloves to friends!

I used to use them at school but found after changing the type of gloves I used at 17 the inners rubbed so I stopped. This season however after a couple of 90mins plus in the middle I got some blisters and I'm going to look into getting some fingerless ones ready to try out in the nets.
Blistered hands when batting the following weeks were not fun.

do make gloves last longer but defintely not as comfy

I have always worn full finger inners since I started playing so its feels odd not to wear them. I don't have a problem with comfort or grip either.

I saw this and thought of you 

[ajmw89]

Always use fingerless

[amritpremi]

I usually bat without inners when the weather is decent and on a hot humid day go for a fingerless one as I usually just sweat at my palms. I used full fingers on a few occassions sometime back, though comfortable and without any issue of grip slipping, still have an unnatural feel to it which isn't there with fingerless one.

I've worn inners for batting since day one as a school cricketer. My hands sweat a lot, so the idea of protecting my batting gloves has always felt like a good idea for me. I actually feel uncomfortable if I bat without inners now.

[jamielsn15]

Never worn them, ever.  I guess you don't miss what you've never had...

[TangoWhiskey]

I never used to wear them but bought some on a whim in the winter last year and haven't looked back since. I sweat quite a bit and the longer I'd bat, the more difficult keeping hold of the bat would become as sweat accumulated in the palms of my gloves making them slippery. To combat this, I used to have two pairs of gloves but this season since I use the inners I have only ever had to change gloves once and that was on a seriously hot day.

I wear them purely for the 'snug' fit. I have been toying with the idea of wearing Small Mens/ Youth sized gloves. Wouldn't say my hands are small just like them to feel snug. No issues with sweating etc.

[Nato]

I like my gloves to be a good fit, but I found when wearing small men's gloves it felt like my hands were constricted.

I only wear full finger inners, they give a good fit and I feel more comfortable wearing them.
